I've recently set up a website aimed at getting some kitties that live on the street near my place into homes. It has live streaming video of the kitties needing homes at night, and my kitties in the day. For awhile I was getting a good response, but now it's quietened down, and I need to figure out how to get it happening again! Ideas?? It's for a good cause...I"m paying for the desexing, vaccinations, aids & FelV testing etc.... the site is http://www.kittiesinthehood.com
I have already adopted 8 myself, and really need help with the other 12!

First, bless you for what you're doing!
I really like you site, too!
I think you may be stuck with a lower response rate. When you first started the site there were many people who saw it for the first time all at once. Now you just have people finding your site one at a time. Plus, each time someone in your area adopts one of the kitties, that's one less potential new home available for the others.
Maybe you need to find new ways to attract traffic to your site, like flyers you could put up, business cards you could hand out or stick on bulliten boards, that sort of thing. Perhaps you could get a newspaper reporter to do a story in your local paper, or even a bit for TV news on your local station.
Good luck!

Way to go for trying to help cats without homes. I just adopted 1 myself that someone just threw out of a car on my street. I hope you find them all homes.

I can't take one of your cats( my husband won't let me), but what you're doing is a GREAT thing. My cat was a stray and his mother had been hit by a car. I took him in and he has been a great companion and family member for the last 7 1/2 years.

first of all... if you're doing 'all of this', to 'save' some cats off the street..... you're awesome !!! I cant take any, myself....but have you tried posting an ad at the store, laundrymat, carwash, etc..
I wish you the best of luck with this 'journey', and again... good job!!! You should be proud of yourself.
